Mr Sheen is probably not good unless you dismantle the horn first.

I would use a very slightly damp e-cloth.

I wouldn't bother, but that's me - maybe not recommended practice.

I use a silver cloth on mine - put it's silver plated, not lacquered.

Use a key brush for cleaning under the keys and between the toneholes. I use lemon oil to remove fingerprints, grease, dirt ... . A few drops on a polishing cloth of lemon oil helps up.
